HYDRAULIC MAIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 754,104, dated March 8, 1904.

Application filed June 13,1903. are No. 161,288. (No model.)

1'0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD N. TRUMP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Hydraulic Main, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in double hydraulic mains, and is especially adapted for usein connection with coke-ovens, the purpose being to afford improved means for receiving the gas from the ovens, washing it, and conveying it to a desired point.

My invention comprises a conduit or main having a plurality of compartments with a common water seal, the compartments adapted to receive the gas discharged from the ovens being centrally located, while on either side are located the compartments for receiving the gas through the water seal from the first-named compartments.

My invention also comprises improved means for feeding the said main.

My invention also comprises other improvements in details of construction.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a cross-section of my device on line 1 1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of my device partially shown in section on line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a cross-section on line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the top of the main on line 4 40f Fig. 2.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawings, the conduit 1 is divided into four compartments 2, 3, 4, and 5 by the partitions 6, 7, and 8, which extend throughout the length of the main. The compartments 2 and 3 we shall call'the discharging-compartments. The gas discharged from the oven is conveyed through pipe 10 to either of the compartments 2 or 3, depending upon which valve 11 or 12 is open. Because of the discharging of the gas into 2 and 3 the pressure into these compartments is greater than that in compartments 4 and 5. Water is maintained in the main, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3, at a height sufficient to immerse the lower edges of partitions 6, 7, and 8, partition 6 extending deeper into the water than partitions lower edge of partition 7 into compartment 4,

while the gas from compartment'3 will similarly bubble into the compartment 5. The gas is conducted from compartment 4 through pipes 14 and 14, the suction thereof being controlled by wing-valve 21. (See Fig. 3.)

The gas from compartment 5 is carried away through pipe 13', controlled by valve 22. This gas carries large quantities of tar, which is washed out in the water as it passes through the same in going around partitions 7 and 8. This tar or pitch is liable to clog the main if it is not cleaned out at intervals. For this purpose I provide the water-sealed ports 15. (See Figs. 1 and 2.) An advantage of this construction is that we have two complete mains with one set of cleaning-ports, and the coinpartments 2 and 3 are of such shape that they keep entirely free of pitch and are easily kept open, so that the gas is maintained at a constant pressure by a constant height of liquor in the compartments 4 and 5.

In the single mains heretofore used where (partitions? and 8 being omitted) a compartment corresponding to 2 and 4 was used for the hot gas and a compartment corresponding to 3 and 5 was used for the cold gas it was very difticult to keep the mains straight because of the difference in temperature of the two sides. In the construction of themain, as shown in the accompanying drawings, where the compartments 2 and 3 are used for the hot gas, while the flanking or outer compartments 4 and 5 receive the cooler gas, it will be seen thatthe higher temperature is always maintained in the middle of the main, and consequently there.

Too

the chamber 16. (Shown in Figs. 2 and This chamber has communication through aperture 17 with the main immediately below the compartments 2, 3, 4, and 5, and into this chamber 16 a large portion of the tar will flow, which may readily be cleaned therefrom through the water-sealed port 20. Chamber 16 also has communication through the adjustable apertured plate 18 with the trap-chamher 19, communicating with pipe 14. By means of this chamber 16 and its water-sealed connection with 1 1 it is possible to take out the'tar and the liquid from the main and at the same time maintain a constant level of the water in the main by the adjustable plate 18. The gas may be drawn off independently through pipes 18 and 1 1. Access to chamber 19 may be had through the port 23.

In operation the main is adapted to be connected with a large number of ovens. As many as forty ovens have been connected in this way, any number of which may be connected to compartment 2 or to compartment 3 at the same time. In practice about half of the ovens are connected to each compartment, a single oven being connected to one compartment for half the time delivering the rich gas and to the other compartment for the other half the time delivering the gas which is poorer in illuminants. As the gas comes ofi in different quantities at different times, connecting them all to one compartment equalizes the pressure on all the others. I

The specific device illustrated in the drawings and described above show the inner chambers 2 and 3 connected with the ovens and the outer chambers 4 and 5 adapted to receive the gas from chambers 2 and 3, through the water seal, which results in the hot gas being discharged into the middle of main while the cooler gas is collected in the flanking compartments 4 and 5 on the outer sides of the main. It is obvious, however, that the method of connecting said compartments'may be reversed without departing from the spirit of my inventionthat is, the outer flanking compartments 4 and 5 might be connected with the ovens and the gas therefrom permitted to pass through the water seal around the partitions 7 and 8 into the inner chambers 2 and 3. In such an arrangement the hotter gas would be delivered to the outer sides of the main while the cooler gas would be collected in the middle part therof.
